The Opening DB is based mainly on the strongest lines of Perfect 2010 book (almost all games of Perfect 2010 book belongs to Grandmasters-average 2600 Elo)
Note also that there are a few Openings in Top 100 (e.g Alekhine,Dutch,Scandinavian...),which are disabled for playing in Perfect 2010 book

Greetings,
Sedat

When you say strongest lines, are they strongest for both in some way?

I suspect that the strongest lines will naturally favor one side or the other somewhat, unless they have a zero eval at the end of the line.

Sure,the strongest lines for both sides ...
Note that before final release,the openings have been tested with more 20.000 games (played by TOP Chess Programs)
And as far as possible all disadvantage openings for Whites and for Blacks have been disabled
One thing more,i have done my best in selecting the Openings,which Blacks have chances to win or at least to make a draw

Best,
Sedat
